When, many years ago, Tintner was conducting the Queensland Symphony
Orchesra on a regular basis, he seemed so frail that I sometimes wondered
if he would last to his next scheduled concert.  Since then he seems to
have produced a number of highly recommended recordings!

Perhaps in his case touring would be a bit too much of an effort.

BTW, all those years ago he was very highly regarded in Brisbane.  We heard
him first!
